we are leaving behind dreams
crushed like flower petals
laying upon the less travelled path
wakened from a sense of peace
or as close we could reach
with bodies cemented to practicality
the infamy you will gain,
a spotlight of sympathy and pity
is worth the tears of blood
rebellion was your game
and a gluttony for greivances
the fruits of our demise
was it the desire of interest,
a beautiful melancholic tale
for the masses under your toes
to shatter picture frames
and shake the dust from our hearts
into our sorrowful lungs
poor and superficial soul
there is no sympathy for the devil
as he has none for such sinners
we will spend our days with blurred eyes
while the red carpet of purgatory
welcomes you as family
and should we ever meet again
your hope may wallow in the depths
of our blind condescension
